Re: Ball Chasing

... when it comes to trying to figure out where the balls are going to go after the release... well i try not to think of that, it hurts in otherwords it's too chaotic a problem to figure out where a bunch of spheres are going to go and be accurate every time......
I have thought of going under the ball tray for when it releases to collect the balls (obviously tugging along a goal) and i just figure that would depend too much on how the match started out (if the balls were released right away or had to wait or...)... also brings me back to the chaos theory and how many balls would actually make their way into the goal, it jsut might not be worth the effort when you could just scoop to the human player and dump the right over....

Re: Ball Chasing

the rules say a ball must be placed in the goal by the human player - only the human player

not being a lawyer, I take that to mean any ball that lands in the goal by any other means will not count

if you are lost on how to gather the balls, think of equipment that is in existance that does something similar.

Ever been to a driving range?

Do you have a leaf sweeper?

a carpet sweeper?

ever play billards?

soccer?

hockey?

foosball?

...?
